Outreach Foci
As a new church we desire from the outset to exist not merely for our own spiritual enrichment but for the sake of revealing Christ to the community and world around us.
At the heart of our outreach is Christ’s bias for the poor and those on the margins of society (see Matthew 25:40). As followers of Christ and expressions of His love, we seek to be aware of, serve and witness to poor and marginalized people in our midst and in the places we are called. We also commit to praying for neighbors, brothers and sisters worldwide who are persecuted for their faith, and church ministries and communities we partner with through outreach.
Our desire for Restoration is a church body that is actively engaged in living out God’s call on our lives. We seek to encourage Restoration members in articulating and embodying the hope and love of Jesus Christ–wherever we find ourselves. Concretely, we aim to support members working in organizations advancing our outreach vision and focus areas locally and globally. In supporting individuals and partner organizations, we place great value on the role of indigenous churches and will seek to work closely with and through them
